Ladies, let’s have a heart-to-heart. I’ve attended my fair share of baby showers (some of which were even mine), and I have one straightforward request: can we please put an end to these ridiculous baby shower games? Seriously, they’re a nightmare.
Let’s start with the infamous “guess the poop flavor” game. I mean, really? Who thinks that melting a candy bar in a diaper is a good idea? Sure, it might seem funny in theory, but the reality is that nobody wants to play around with something that resembles… well, poop. Between my three kiddos, two furry friends, and myself, I’ve already got enough messes to deal with at home. I didn’t come here to wallow in more of it just for kicks.
Then there are those baby trivia games. I really don’t want to guess how many diapers a baby goes through in a year or the staggering costs of raising a child in this day and age. I came here to celebrate, not to take a depressing quiz on my financial future!
And let’s talk about guessing the size of the mom-to-be’s belly. This isn’t a horse race; we all know she’s sporting a sizable bump. No need for awkward bets here, folks. She’s not a contestant on a game show, and trust me, she knows just how big she is — no reminders needed!
Oh, and don’t even get me started on the baby food guessing game. I can barely stomach that stuff when I’m feeding my own kids, so no thank you, I’ll pass on the “guess the flavor” challenge. I didn’t bribe someone to watch my kids just to end up gagging in someone else’s home.
And if you ask me 20 questions about how well I know the mom-to-be, prepare for a blank stare. Unless we’re talking about her being my husband’s distant cousin’s wife, chances are I’m here under duress. So when it comes to eye color, birth date, and first scraped knee, my answer will be, “I have no clue.” Honestly, I can barely keep track of my own family’s stats!
Lastly, if you make me pin one more sperm on another egg, I might just lose it! Let’s get real — no one enjoys these games. Not even you, the hostess. Just admit it! Nobody is going to judge you for wanting to skip the games.
Instead, how about serving up some delicious sandwiches and drinks, and just let us relax? Or, let the soon-to-be mom indulge in pastries, open her gifts, and hurry home to kick off those support stockings, attempt to relax, and prop up her swollen feet. For the love of all that is good, let’s skip the games!

Summary
: Baby showers should be about celebrating the upcoming arrival of new life, not playing awkward games that no one truly enjoys. Instead of guesswork and trivia, let’s focus on delicious food, drinks, and letting the mom-to-be relax.
